Time for an update on this ever-growing belly of mine.
Ok, I'm going to be honest...I don't really have a whole lot to update you on...but here are a few little things that have been happening in week 16, 17 & 18:
-Still feeling pretty good. Some days I still feel extremely tired and would rather sleep all day rather than go to work.
-Leg cramps!! Waking me up in the middle of the night. I thought this was random, but I guess it is a fairly common symptom. (So my What to Expect App tells me...)
-Speaking of night time...I have been having such a hard time sleeping (besides the insane heat!!) I can constantly feel my abdominal muscles stretching and pulling. So on top of feeling bloated all the time, I can literally feel myself ballooning. Great.
-Movement!! I started feeling teeny tiny movements and kicks last week! This is so exciting because it just reassures me that there actually is something growing in there.
-My 1st Ultrasound is next week and I am SO excited! (And not just because I had a very horrifying/vivid dream I had twins...haha) I can't wait to be able see my baby!

| Still wearing my regular jeans...with the help of a belly band (Which I would highly recommend) |
Almost halfway!! Crazy!!
*Today I was able to peek in on a C-Section at work and got to see a little baby enter this world! Melted my heart! I can't wait till it is my turn to hear & hold my baby for the first time. What a miracle.
